Up until now, I've not been much of a house plant-type person. Usually forgetting to water or fertilize them, I often end up throwing them out. But I'm turning a new leaf. I'm starting to practice the responsibility one needs to be a good caretaker of flora. Meet my new additions:

our new buffet & Fittonia plant

(also known as "Forest Flame")

It originates from Peru

Our Snake Plant

(aka Mother-in-Law's Tongue)

Fun, aren't they? Especially the Spider Plant! I'm excited about that one, as it's thick leaves will grow straight up 3 or 4' tall. Hopefully I'll be able to keep it alive long enough to grow that tall! Here's to giving it the good ol' college try!
